The Exclusive Playbook of a Gloomy, Unhinged, Fatherly Seme

* A handsome young master with a playboy facade and emotional detachment as the bottom x a gentle, celibate, old-fashioned man who is actually a brooding, possessive yandere father figure as the top

* First love for both, childhood friends, older man doting on younger man

Tan Yao is a famous playboy young master in high society, but he has one peculiar rule: he won't let his lovers fall in love with him.

Yet he was born with a beautiful, delicate face, and treats his lovers gently and respectfully while spending generously on them. Almost everyone who gets involved with him can't help falling for him, then forgetting what boundaries are.

Whenever that happens, the playboy young master dumps them without mercy, coldly dealing with the men and women who have broken their agreement by developing feelings for him, then quickly finding someone new.

Until one day, Tan Yao, who has often courted trouble, is tricked into a villa by Li Zheng, a man who grew up with him and is of his uncle's generation, though not much older.

From then on, he never gets out.

.

Tan Yao is exceptionally intelligent and has known since he was very young that he has symptoms of emotional detachment.

He also understands the social relationships around him clearly. He knows children are supposed to love their parents, siblings, and grandparents, and to treat the people around them well instead of making them sad.

So from childhood, Tan Yao has been imitating others, hoping to live like a normal person.

As an adult, Tan Yao has grown tired and weary of imitating emotions, so he comes up with a one-and-done solution.

He nails his emotionally expressive playboy persona firmly in place.

For a long time, he does a perfect job of maintaining it.

Until Li Zheng goes crazy in front of him, locks him in a villa, and forces him to fall in love.

Tan Yao is shocked. He never expected that beneath Li Zheng's gentle facade as a serious, celibate, old-fashioned man was the heart of a depraved criminal!

Afterward, once he's calmed down and his anger has faded, Tan Yao can only roll his eyes.

Li Zheng is dreaming.

Tan Yao: If you can win me over, I'll admit you're a real man. (middle finger.jpg)

Yet throughout the days he is locked up, that awful line keeps echoing in Tan Yao's ears.

"Love? Do it a few more times and you'll remember. If you still don't, then I haven't tried hard enough."

"Baby, let's keep going."

"I really do want you to fall in love with me, too."
